Elks Vs Stamps

[Jesse]

Love watching Ford play. Might be the most entertaining team to watch now.

Ford is fun to watch. However can he become a good QB? At some point he has to be able to be a complete player. He certainly has the athleticism but he's not a good QB yet.

He threw for 137 yards but ran for 135 yards.  He's only 185 lbs. He's not getting hit very much because he's so fast and elusive but can he survive in the long run? Others have been able to do that but many have not.

Ford is kinda like Streveller, fun to watch run , struggles with passing and will he ever be a good Qb?? Until teams figure out how to corral his crazy speed and elusiveness, I m just going to sit back and enjoy the ride

Unfortunately the Bombers don't play the Elks again until Oct. 21 but if Ford is still running wild at that point, I would spy him with Wilson and Clements in heavy rotation to keep their legs fresh.  Two fast LB's chasing him all over the field should eventually wear him out.

Tre Ford can?t read a defense if his life depended on it. He can only run. Wait till his first injury, and he is done.

yes he has trouble reading Ds for sure however he did throw for over 300 yards in a game they won and he broke Russ Jackson's rushing yards in one game which has stood since 1964....almost 6 decades!   He Could easily be 3-1 instead of 2-2 and he deserved to win their last outing however the Elks D folded and they frittered away another potential victory.
Can he survive playing like this for the long term  is definitely an issue....I agree with you on that.    Russ Jackson was likely my favourite non Bomber QB of all time because he could do it all and he was incredibly intelligent.    Can Tre Ford evolve and figure out how to read defences is yet to be determined, but one thing is for certain, he is exciting to watch and had us 22 to Zip until Zach got injured and Dru Brown came to the rescue.   Had Zach not been injured we may have lost that game as well.
